Pronunciation: [mˈɔː dˈɛntɪd] (IPA) 
The word "more dented" is spelled with the IPA transcription /mɔːr ˈdɛntɪd/. The word is made up of two parts: "more," which is pronounced with a long "o" sound and is used to indicate an increased amount; and "dented," which is pronounced with a short "e" sound and means that something is damaged or indented. Together, the word "more dented" means that something is even more damaged or indented than before.
The term "more dented" refers to an object or surface that has experienced additional or increased indentations or depressions compared to a previous state or compared to another object or surface. The word "dented" itself indicates an instance where an object or surface has been marked or damaged by pressure, impact or force, resulting in a concave or depressed area.
When the term "more dented" is used, it signifies that the level of denting has increased from a previous state or is in greater quantity or severity compared to something else. This can imply that the object or surface has undergone additional impacts or forces, causing an increased number or deeper depressions. The adjective "more" here serves as a comparative form indicating a higher degree or quantity of dents.
The term "more dented" can be used in various contexts, from describing the condition of a damaged vehicle's bodywork to referring to the state of a tin can that has received further pressure resulting in additional indentations. It can also be used figuratively to describe a person's emotional or mental state, implying a further decline or worsening condition. Overall, "more dented" denotes a specific level or measure of damage or indentation that has increased compared to a previous condition or a comparative object or surface.
The phrase "more dented" is a combination of the word "more" and the past participle form of the verb "dent".
The word "dent" originated from the Old English word "dynt", which meant "a blow, a strike" or "to hit, strike". This Old English form can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "duntiz", meaning "a blow" or "to beat".
Over time, the word evolved and developed into "dent" in Middle English, retaining its meaning of a hollow or indentation caused by a blow or pressure.
When the word "more" is added as a modifier, it indicates a comparison, suggesting that something is further along the scale of being dented or has more dents than something else.
